October's Bright Blue Weather

October speaks to me in tones of blue and gold.  It's one of the prettiest times of the year.  One year I was driving west on I-80 and the cottonwood trees by the river were dressed up in yellow shiny leaves against the best blue sky that October can offer. Blue is my favorite color and October blue is the best blue there is. 

A lot of other good things happened in October this year and they all add up to family:

The sweetness of a new baby.

The bittersweet days of remembrance.

The joy of boys and cookies and leaves.

Baby cuteness...And...

The love that keeps our family together. 

 

We don't gather to play in the leaves every year.  It depends on weather, wind, and leaf fall and whether or not letting the leaves lie interfere with lawn mowing. It's a little fun time to make some memories and take some pictures.
